This R Markdown is to get to know Jeremy!

Bio

Hello, my name is Jeremy! I am an undergraduate student at the University of Toronto, and I am in my 4th year. I am specialising in Bioinformatics & Computational Biology, along with minors in Computer Science and Linguistics. Currently, I’m undergoing my thesis project studying cancer cell lineages at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre under the supervision of Dr. Federico Gaiti.

Bachelors Degree

Table 1. Record of all undergraduate courses

paged_table(courses)

## organize the data for plotting
courses_plot <- courses %>%
  count(Course_Department, course_type) 

# generate plot 
ggplot(courses_plot, aes(fill = course_type, x=Course_Department, y=n)) +
  geom_bar(stat = "identity") +
  scale_y_continuous(
    limits = c(0, 10),
    breaks = seq(0, 10, by = 1)
  ) +
  labs(title = "Jeremy's undergraduate degree", x = "Course Department", y = "Number of courses") +
  theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 45, hjust = 1, vjust = 1))
**Figure 1: Summary of undergraduate courses.** Barplot of the number of courses taken through my undergraduate degree. Colours represent the category of each courseas part of the undergraduate course requirements.

Hobbies

I have a few hobbies that I like to do when I have some free time, but most of my time is spent relaxing!

ggplot(hobbies, aes(x=hobby, y=hours_per_week)) +
  geom_bar(stat = "identity") +
  labs(title = "Jeremy's weekly hobbies", x = "Hobby", y = "Hours spent per week")
**Figure 2: Time spent on my hobbies.** Barplot of the hours that I spent weekly on each of my hobbies.

Travelling!

One of the things I love to do is travel! In 2025, I visited 12 different countries. Here is a collage of pictures of some of the places I went:
